View from the slopes.
There is over 750Km of skiing at Port du Soleil, we
hardly ever saw anyone else. We could ski a 40
minute run and see maybe a handful of people the
whole time. It was amazing!
|
The slopes were
completely open, you could ski anywhere you
wanted.
|
Fresh powder!
|
They were very well
groomed and people would just make their own trails
wherever.
